I am constantly changing the centerpiece on my dining room table! It usually happens as I'm cleaning house and I get distracted and the next thing I know I'm no longer cleaning house and I'm playing house! I prefer decorating over cleaning, that's what it comes down to!
January just seems like it should be white, silver and crystal to me so that's what I did! My
$10 flea market silver tray is filled with crystal candle sticks with white candles, mercury glass and white silk hydrangeas.
I think I'll work on just changing my centerpiece once a month. Maybe we should have a monthly centerpiece party and I'll put up a Mr. Linky so we can all join in! Does that sound like something you would like to see or be a part of? It would be a great way to get new ideas!
Yes, That would be a fantastic idea..it is always nice to change things around and there are some very clever people out there...and I love your new look....

Hi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like fun! Your centerpiece looks fabulous!

You're so creative, Cindy. My crackled button vase of roses never gets changed... Maybe I'll get inspired by your "centerpiece of the month" posts to try something different once in a while! ... Donna @ An Enchanted Cottage
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy. I love your centerpiece and couldn't agree with you more in terms of the colors of January! What fun it would be to have a monthly centerpiece party. I say "Yes!" ~Arleen
ReplyDeleteI think a "Centerpiece of the Month" would be a great thing to do, Cindy. It's actually your site that inspired me to get my own blog going. :-)
ReplyDeletebtw, the new logo is great!
SandraJ
Yes, I think that's a great idea! I'm forever changing things around in my house, I love to play with different looks. You find the most amazing things at the Thrift Stores, your centerpiece is lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove your new look, too!
Best Wishes,
Dawn
I think a centerpiece party sounds fabulous. All of you creative people can do cool centerpiece's and directions for those of us who are not creative can copy you:)
ReplyDeleteTammie
Good Idea Cindy, I will join the party...let's have a centerpiece of the month blog...maybe each second saturday of the month? starting in february?...gives me time to come up with something...
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to do a centerpiece for my table for day's. Sometime I get over there.
ReplyDeleteCiao
Your centerpieces are always the best! It sounds like fun to have a monthly centerpiece party. Now excuse me while I go and play in the dining room... :)
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Mary
Cindy love your new header look girl..and I think the centerpiece thing sounds great..Hope you have a good day...come by and see me sometime..hugs and smiles Gloria
ReplyDeleteI think it's an excellent idea. It would force me to change mine. When I get it fixed in a way that I love, I have a hard time changing it.
ReplyDeleteYour centerpiece looks fantastic. I love the crystal candlesticks.
ReplyDeleteWendy
Do you also change your coffee table centerpiece? Centerpiece of the Month sounds like a great idea.
ReplyDeleteCheers! Rita
I am so centerpiece challenged, and yours looks so beautiful. I would love to have a lot of ideas. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteI love your centerpiece Cindy...right now mine is still a Poinsettia someone gifted to me, I'll probably keep it there until I have to move it or it dies...LOL.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Robin
YES, THAT SOUNDS GREAT.
ReplyDeleteSUE
That sounds fun!! I'm in!
ReplyDeleteI DON'T HAVE VERY MANY TO JOIN,BUT I SURE WOULD LOVE TO SEE OTHERS AND GET IDEAS...ANN
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I love your latest creation too & it's given me an idea... ♥
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great idea. I'm in!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteLove that idea! Really like your centerpiece too.
Blessings,
Sandi
Cindy, I bought a silver tray for 35$ because I thought your tray was sooo pretty and knew I'd never find the bargain you found! I was playing around trying to decorate mine today! Of course mine does not look anywhere as good as yours...
ReplyDeleteI'm all for a "centerpiece of the month" post. What fun!
I love the idea of a centerpiece a month party! Go for it!
ReplyDeleteI love the sparkly crystal and silver combo. So you!
I would love to join a "centerpiece a month" posting. Good idea!
ReplyDeleteI just love your romantic home. I never get tired of looking at your gorgeous rooms. Thank you for sharing your lovely centerpiece.
ReplyDeleteYour new banner is just beautiful. I love it! Amy
Fabulous idea! Count me in!

I would love to see monthly centerpieces... I always struggle with finding something low enough that doesn't obstruct the view from one side of the table to the other when we are actually having a meal. I like your collection of candles.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I see I need more 'bling' on my table. Yes, please host a centerpiece party - I need ideas. Sally
ReplyDeleteYour centerpiece is gorgeous. It would be fun to see everyone's centerpieces on a monthly basis-great idea.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful. And January does seem to be those colors, doesn't it? Yes, I think I could handle a centerpiece. But I'm all thumbs for those table setting things bloggers participate in. Never really fixed up a table for folks. Just put a plate and utensils in front of them, I guess. Must have been born in a barn.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Looks beautiful, Cindy~ And yes, I would gladly join a centerpiece party!
ReplyDeleteCarol
So pretty! I especially love clicking on your pictures to enlarge them.
ReplyDeleteKarin
Sounds like fun! I always change mine around almost every week so a linky would be fun.
ReplyDeleteManuela
YES! Fantastic idea...I love doing and looking at centerpieces/vignettes. Vignettes are a great way to change things up--easy, inexpensive, takes only a little time to make things fresh and new.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a fun idea. I like your silver tray. Very pretty centerpiece.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteYour centerpiece looks perfect on your table. I think we all agree a centerpiece of the month would be great. I love looking at everyone's table decorations.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of your banner!!!
Yes....would love that, as long as it's not weekly .
ReplyDeleteUs working Mommies can't quite keep up with that :)
So far I'm impressed with myself if I change my centerpiece 4 times a year with the seasons LOL ! That would be amazing if I did it monthly!

Excellent Idea!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see all the great centerpieces ~
Cindy, My husband would always say what the heck are you doing, after I would clean and then start playing house. I have always used that term, and its kinda a funny coming from you too. I also use it when I'm figuring out what I'm going to wear, putting outfits together as well. Your my kinda girl!
ReplyDeleteAlmost forgot-your centerpiece looks Great!
ABSOLUTELY!!! I would LOVE it!!!
ReplyDeleteJan
I have stalked your blog for months! I love reading your posts! thanks for keeping me entertained when the kids are sleeping!! I love your centerpiece!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy,

Just stunning!

Your blog is always filled with all of my favorite things...what a breathe of fresh air this blog always is...you are truly an amazing lady....
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful centerpiece! It is stunning!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy! Love the new look of your blog! I also love your new centerpiece....I wish that you could come live with me for about a month and help me decorate and make things pretty....until then, I will just have to enjoy your blog. Have a beautiful week! ~ xoxo Joy
ReplyDeleteLove your new header Cindy. And the centerpiece idea sounds great! I would participate!
ReplyDeleteLove your new header!!! A centerpiece party would be fun - especially with all the mini holidays coming up. Everyone knows how to decorated for Thanksgiving and Christmas...but I know I would love to see some inspirational ideas for Valentines Day, St.Pat's Day(my b-day) and Easter!
ReplyDeleteHey Cindy; I think that is a great idea. It sounds like great fun, and a wonderful way to get some new ideas for a center piece.
ReplyDeleteHugs;
Alaura
Cindy, this turned out fantastic. I'm the same way, start out cleaning and then inspiration hits.. can't stop when the inspiration hits can we? I love, love , love the silver tray as your base. hugs ~lynne~
ReplyDeleteLovely elegant centerpiece. Sounds great to change out centerpieces once a month. Would love to see how everyone decorates.
ReplyDeleteI like the new dashboard.
Have a great week!
bring on mr. linky
ReplyDeletethis took my breath away.....
stop on over for updates on makeover
you've got it girl
I love your the look of your new blog. It is beautiful~~~~ I think that having a centerpiece party once of month would be great. We all can get lots of ideas that way.
ReplyDeleteGinger
Your centerpiece is lovely!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! I don't have a blog, but I sure love reading them.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I LOVE your new banner.
~elaine~
Your new banner is beautiful--I LOVE the tray and the vignette you made. I'm just like you about cleaning/decorating. I can't seem to do one without doing the other.
ReplyDelete:-)
No. I would definetly like to see more than your redundant dining area. If I had a blog with a picture, I would probably say yes also, just to get more hits on my page but since I don't, I'll be perfectly honest.
ReplyDeleteAre you running out of blog ideas, cindy?
Pretty center piece-I think the center peice a month is a great idea! Love the new banner too!
ReplyDelete~Smiles~Tam!
Great idea, Cindy! And this is fabulous (I'm soo envious of your tray!). I also usually have a 'white frame of mind' in January...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy playing the house, I MUST clean :(((
Monica.
I change my centerpieces as well -- both on my dining room and breakfast room tables as well as the coffee tables -- keeps ones room from looking too stale.
ReplyDeleteGreat centerpiece and love the white and silver after the red and green of Christmas.
Martha
Looks so beautiful. Just love the little bowl with the candle inside.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a nice day.
Love Elzie
It looks fantastic. I love seeing all of your different centerpieces.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how often my attempts to clean or organize turn in to creative projects. I'm getting ready for Mary Ashley's birthday party Saturday, and I spent so many hours cleaning yesterday that I'm looking forward to doing more of the fun party stuff today. That will be good for my back as well as my mood! :)
ReplyDeleteYour centerpiece looks so pretty, and I like the idea of a linky party. I discoverd during your end-of-year linky party that you run with a creative group of ladies!
That is such a great idea! I still have my Christmas centerpiece on my table! I need help! I love your centerpiece with the silver tray and crystal. Also, I love your new banner.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking about painting my son's room when he goes off to college. Because of you and all of your blue...I'm leaning towards that! I went and got paint samples yesterday. I don't have anything else blue in my house,except for my little boy's room. (He always has to have blue!) All of your blue looks so relaxing! I think that would be perfect for a guest room!
Hugs,
Lee Laurie
I love your January Centerpiece. What a great idea for a drab month.
ReplyDeleteLove that idea!!! I'm always changing out my dining room table. My only problem is that I do not have an eat-in kitchen, so I don't like my centerpiece too fancy because then it's a pain to move each night for dinner. But I still dress it up as much as possible. This would be fun, should you decide to host. I'm in!!
ReplyDeleteCenterpiece perfection!
ReplyDeleteCindy, that sounds like a great idea, I don't have a blog, but I love to see what others have done. I adore your new centerpiece, I may try something like that today. I have been collecting silver ever since I've been following your blog.~cindy s~
ReplyDeleteOooohhhh...its gorgeous, Cindy! I love the icy silvery prettiness of everything you incorporated! And I LOVE the idea of a Centerpiece of the Month feature...that would be so much fun! I vote YES! :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely! and a great idea!
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful day!
;-D
This sounds like a terrific idea, maybe on the first or fifteenth or thirieth of each month? I'd love to join in.
ReplyDeleteYour centerpiece for January is beautiful.
Big TX hugs,

"...the next thing I know I'm no longer cleaning house and I'm playing house!" I *love* this statement! Work should be play, and your enthusiasm is contagious. :)
ReplyDeleteVery fun idea!! I see you've gone ETSY too!! I have been trying to get up the nerve and the time to do that...are you having good luck with it so far???
ReplyDeleteM ^..^
Beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so stealing that for my centerpiece on one of my future teaparties. That is a fabulous idea.
